Now, they're re-reading them with fresh eyes for plot twists, new characters, and surprisingly apt socio-political themes. Delusions of Grandeur is a podcast about the good, the bad, and the truly bizarre stories of the Star Wars novels. delusionspod.com

Delusions of Grandeur is a weirdo best friend art collective from Canada, established by Janet and Carmen in 2013. We write, we draw, we paint, we dance, we dick…around. We’ve been podcasting since 2020. The concept is simple: two bi-coastal besties, two microphones, a topic, and a little weed. War. Climate change. COVID-19. The culture wars. You will find none of that here. Delusions of Grandeur is a podcast of lighthearted philosophical banter. Join Carmen and Janet as they explore topics ...

For this is no mere book: it is a weird conglomerate of a novel, several comic books, a video game, collectable figurines, an original soundtrack (!) and probably something else we missed. Before we dive into the book itself, Kell…
